The energy consumption can be read out from the LCD display of the EIB
Delta-Meter and can also be recorded and processed remotely using the EIB
communication interface.
In the case of direct connected EIB Delta-Meters, the energy in the LCD
display is identical to the energy that has been consumed. If current and/or
voltage transformers have been used, the displayed consumption value must
be multiplied by the transformer ratio (CT x VT) in order to determine the
actual, primary energy consumption.
All transformer rated meters display secondary measured values.
The light-emitting diodes next to the meter readout and the LCD display
symbols [A] and [R], flash at a rate [Z
k
] of:
Direct connected meter 1000 Imp/kWh (kvarh)
Transformer rated meter 5000 Imp/kWh (kvarh)
The equations in the following example can be used in order to calculate the
LED/LCD flash rate at the given power.
Three-wire polyphase network with current and voltage transformers:
Type of current transformer: 250/5 A/A
Type of voltage transformer: 600/100 V/V
Secondary current (I): 3 A
Secondary voltage (U): 100 V
Power factor (cos ϕ): 0.9
Meter constant (LED, LCD) (Z
k
): 5000 Imp/kWh
Transformer ratio of voltage transformer (VT):
Transformer ratio of current transformer (CT):
Secondary power (P
s
):
Primary power (P
p
):
LED/LCD flash frequency (B

):
LED/LCD flash period (B
p
):
When connected correctly, the LED and the LCD display symbol [A] should
flash approx. every 1.5 seconds in the above example.
